Genshin Impact 5★ Geo Sword Main DPS
Uraku Misugiri is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Albedo's kit multiplies DEF, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Lightbearing Moonshard, Cinnabar Spindle and Peak Patrol Song come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Albedo, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Archaic Petra on Albedo, with Husk of Opulent Dreams and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are DEF% sands, Geo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > DEF% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Venti, Faruzan, Albedo and Bennett, built around Albedo: Geo · Swirl.
Normal Attack Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Albedo creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, which deals AoE Geo DMG on appearance.
Solar Isotoma has the following properties: · When opponents within the Solar Isotoma field take DMG, the Solar Isotoma will generate Transient Blossoms which deal AoE Geo DMG. DMG dealt scales off Albedo's DEF. · Transient Blossoms can only be generated once every 2s. · When a character is located at the locus of the Solar Isotoma, the Solar Isotoma will accumulate Geo power to form a crystallized platform that lifts the character up to a certain height. Only one crystallized platform can exist at a time. · Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo construct. Only one Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself can exist at a time.
Hold to designate the location of the skill.
This Geo bloom has an unusual property mirrored in the aim of alchemy. To rise from the earth, soar into the sky, and become the sun.

Under Albedo's command, Geo crystals surge and burst forth, dealing AoE Geo DMG in front of him. If a Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself is on the field, 7 Fatal Blossoms will be generated in the Solar Isotoma field, bursting violently into bloom and dealing AoE Geo DMG.
Tectonic Tide DMG and Fatal Blossom DMG will not generate Transient Blossoms.
Under the Kreideprinz's command, the tectonic tide of creation seethes into life.

Albedo is a 5-star Geo character from Mondstadt who uses a sword, released in version 1.2.
Albedo's abilities multiply DEF. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Uraku Misugiri is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on DEF. Cinnabar Spindle is the best 4-star alternative.
Archaic Petra. Its 2-piece bonus is: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus. Its 4-piece bonus is: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through Crystallize or triggering a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Ballad among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
